Our family program was one of our most popular programs last year. Thanks

to Jackson Kayaks a whole new opportunity for kids and family’s became possible.

Now family’s can paddle together and enjoy endless amounts of fun on there local

rivers and lakes. The youth are storming the kayaking scene with 12 and 13 year

old top level athletes competing around the world changing the face of the sport.

All ages JUNE 30 JULY 1

Kids Camp.1 | JULY 7-8 $250.00

This two day camp focuses on further developing your

potential as a kayaker and maintaining good habits and

technique. We will still camp up the Icicle for a little review and our

evening fish before cooking dinner as a group. Students will start to recognize lines

from the beginner course and lead with confidence as we explore new sections of the

Wenatchee River.

Training Camp.2 | JULY 21-22 $250.00

Camp.2 will start to cover river rescue and more advanced strokes as your skills

will shine through. Rope work, terminology and self efficiency will be our main goal.

By now camping and dealing with groups are routine and things flow very easily as

we move learning to another level.

Training Camp.3 | AUGUST 11-12 $200.00

This is the third Camp in our progression and will

provide solid confirmation of your ability and

relationship with the river. All you have learned will

be tested as you lead safety talks and instructors

take the back seat as students do some of their

own instructing.

*Deschutes River Family Adventure

This is what we've been training for, a real three day river trip for the whole family.

kayak, raft or inflatable we'll continue to advance your skills while you'll use all

the skills you have learned over the summer and get to use them on a multi-day

river adventure. The Deschutes is Oregon's most classic river trip and not only

does it have fun exiting pool drop rapids but it is a world class fly fishing river and

where I learned how to fish with my dad. There's nothing like a river trip to learn

about our kids, our parent's and ourselves.
